it's a weird box really just bought it a few days ago off a friend for $30
it's 100mhz (didn't know 486's came that high and it's got 32mb ram but looking at the board it looks like it's been upgraded and there's two kinds of ram slots 4 30-pin slots and 2 72pin and they're _all_ filled i'm thinking now that that's the issue (after all the helpfull input from this list) and when i get home today i'll remove the old 30pin stuff since it may be conflicting with the new(er) 72pin ram _________________________________ daniel a. g. quinn starving programmer ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rodolfo J.
